Form and Line Reference	Explanation
MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 5: CHNA COMMUNITY INPUT:THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE CHNA PROCESS. MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH (FORMERLY ST. ANTHONY'S) SOUGHT TO CONDUCT IT'S NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN PART BY COLLECTION PRIMARY DATA FROM KEY COMMUNITY MEMBERS. DATA WAS COLLECTED IN THREE WAYS - A COLLABORATION OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN A FOCUS GROUP SETTING; A TELEPHONE SURVEY OF 500 ADULT COMMUNITY MEMBERS; AND PHYSICIAN SURVEYS. IN THE KEY STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS, MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH PARTNERED WITH BARNES JEWISH WEST COUNTY HOSPITAL (BJWCH), MISSOURI BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER (MBMC), ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL (SLH) AND MERCY HOSPITAL ST. LOUIS (MHSL). TO FULFILL PPACA REQUIREMENTS, BJWCH, MBMC, MHS AND MHSL HOSTED A SINGLE FOCUS GROUP WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS AND THOSE WITH A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE HEALTH NEEDS OF RESIDENTS LOCATED IN WEST AND SOUTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY. THIS DISCUSSION LASTED 90 MINUTES AND WAS FACILITATED BY A MODERATOR. THERE WAS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT ARE STILL THOSE AS TO WHICH THE HOSPITALS SHOULD STILL FOCUS. PARTICIPANTS WERE GIVE THE LIST OF NEEDS IDENTIFIED IN THE PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT DONE IN 2012-2013 BY EACH HOSPITAL AND ASKED TO RE-RANK THEM ON A SCALE OF 1 (LOW) TO 5 (HIGH) BASED ON THEIR PERCEIVED LEVEL OF COMMUNITY CONCERN AND THE ABILITY OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO COLLABORATE AROUND THEM. BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH AND ALCOHOL/SUBSTANCE ABUSE RATED HIGHTEST IN TERMS OF LEVEL OF CONCERN AND ABILITY TO COLLABORATE. MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH PARTNERED WITH THE PRELL ORGANIZATION TO ASSESS THE HEALTH-CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BY CONDUCTING A TELEPHONE SURVEY WITH BOTH LANDLINE AND CELL-PHONE NUMBERS UTILIZING A RANDOM SAMPEL OF 500 ADULTS AGE 21 YEARS AND OLDER IN THE COMMUNITY. THESE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN JUNE 2015 AT COMMUNICATIONS FOR RESEARCH IN STEELEVILLE, MO, USING A COMPUTER ASSISTED TELEPHONE INTERVIEWING SYSTEM. PRELL EMPLOYED A STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLE THAT SET QUOTAS FOR EACH ZIP CODE TO MATCH THE OVERALL ADULT POPULATION IN THE PSA (PRIMARY SERVICE AREA). THIS HAD THE EFFECT OF REDUCING THE SAMPLING ERROR FOR THIS SURVEY. BECAUSE PHYSICIANS PLAY A ROLE IN RECOGNIZING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE POPULATION, MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH CHOSE TO SURVEY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND SPECIALISTS AFFILIATED WITH MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH. FORTY-THREE PHYSICIANS TOOK PART IN A SEVEN-QUESTION SURVEY USING AN ONLINE SURVEY TOOL. THE PHYSICIANS WERE ASKED THREE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS AND FOUR CLOSED QUESTIONS FOCUSED ON THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR POPULATION.

MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH	PART V, SECTION B, LINE 11: THE MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH COMMUNITY OUTREACH TEAM REVIEWED RESULTS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND PHYSICIAN SURVEYS, THE KEY STAKEHOLDER ASSESSMENT AND TARGETED SECONDARY DATA PERTAINING TO OUR DEFINED COMMUNITY. USING THESE SOURCES, MEMBERS IDENTIFIED NEEDS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: THE SEVERITY OF THE NEED, RESOURCES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE OR UNAVAILABLE IN THE COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS THE NEED, AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE MAJORITY OF COMMUNITY CONCERNS CLOSELY MIRRORED THE NEEDS THAT WE IDENTIFIED IN OUR 2012 NEEDS ASSESSMENT. WHILE GROUNDWORK HAS BEEN LAID TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS, FURTHER WORK ON THESE INITIATIVES IS NEEDED. THE FOLLOWING WERE CHOSEN AS MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH'S THREE MAIN PRIORITIES IN IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITY FOR 2016-2018: - ACCESS TO CARE- MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE- HEALTHY LIFESTYLE (OBESITY AND DIABETES)IN ANY CASE OF PRIORITIZATION, THERE WILL BE SOME AREAS OF NEEDS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED THAT ARE NOT CHOSEN AS A PRIORITY. BECAUSE MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH HAS LIMITED RESOURCES, NOT EVERY COMMUNITY NEED WILL BE ADDRESSED. THROUGHOUT THE CHNA PROCESS, THE FOLLOWING NEEDS AROSE AS A COMMUNITY CONCERN. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE NEED ALREADY BEING ADDRESSED BY ANOTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION OR DUE TO A LIMITATION OF RESOURCES: -TOBACCO USE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY -VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY -MATERNAL/CHILD HEALTH -SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS -ALCOHOL-IMPAIRED DRIVING DEATHSWHILE THESE NEEDS LISTED WILL NOT BE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED IN OUR PRIORITIES, THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE IMPACTED INDIRECTLY THROUGH THE WORK IN OUR OTHER COMMUNITY OUTREACH PRIORITIES.

THROUGH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION ON COMMUNITY BOARDS, NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY COALITIONS, AND INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNITY-BASED EVENTS, MERCY BUILDS PARTNERSHIPS TO DEVELOP COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY NEEDS. VARIOUS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS COLLABORATE WITH MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH, EXPAND ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE OR IN OTHER WAYS BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE FOLLOWING GROUPS: ST.

A FULL DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMUNITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.MERCY.NET/COMMUNITYBENEFITS.
PART III, LINE 2:	TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE, AT COST, BAD DEBT EXPENSE ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENT ACCOUNTS WAS MULTIPLIED BY A RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES. THE RATIO OF COST TO CHARGES USED WAS BASED ON DETAILED COST ACCOUNT, WHERE AVAILABLE. WHERE COST ACCOUNTING IS NOT AVAILABLE, COST REPORT COST TO CHARGE RATIOS WERE UTILIZED.
PART III, LINE 3:	THE FILING ORGANIZATION DETERMINED THAT THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF BAD DEBT EXPENSE (AT COST) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS ELIGIBLE UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITY CARE POLICY IS $0. ALTHOUGH THE CHARITY CARE POLICY REQUIRES THE PARTICIPATION OF THE PATIENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, WE HAVE A PROCESS UNDER PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS FOR PATIENTS WHO DO NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHARITY POLICY IS COMPREHENSIVE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ALMOST ALL PATIENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR CHARITY CARE.
PART III, LINE 4:	THE TEXT OF THE FOOTNOTE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DESCRIBES BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS AS FOLLOWS: IN MAY 2014, THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) AND INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE (ASU) 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (TOPIC 606). THE HEALTH SYSTEM ADOPTED ASU 2014-09 ON JULY 1, 2018 USING A FULL RETROSPECTIVE BASIS. UPON ADOPTION, THE MAJORITY OF WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY CLASSIFIED AS PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS AND PRESENTED AS A REDUCTION TO PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS IS TREATED A PRICE CONCESSION THAT REDUCES THE TRANSACTION PRICE, WHICH IS REPORTED AS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. AS SUCH, BAD DEBT EXPENSE IS NOT REFERENCED IN MERCY HEALTH AND SUBSIDIARIES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. "PATIENT ACCOUNTS THAT ARE UNCOLLECTED, INCLUDING THOSE PLACED WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES, ARE INITIALLY CHARGED AGAINST THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH COLLECTIONS POLICIES OF THE HEALTH SYSTEM AND, IN CERTAIN CASES, ARE RECLASSIFIED TO CHARITY CARE IF DEEMED TO OTHERWISE MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES IS BASED UPON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF HISTORICAL AND EXPECTED NET COLLECTIONS CONSIDERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, TRENDS IN HEALTH CARE COVERAGE, AND OTHER COLLECTION INDICATORS. PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, MANAGEMENT ASSESSES THE ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES BASED UPON THE PAYOR COMPOSITION AND AGING OF RECEIVABLES AS OF THE REPORTING DATE WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE HISTORICAL PAYMENT AND WRITE-OFF EXPERIENCE BY PAYOR CATEGORY. THE RESULTS OF THESE REVIEWS ARE THEN USED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE RECEIVABLES. AFTER SATISFACTION OF AMOUNTS DUE FROM INSURANCE, THE HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES FOR PLACING PAST-DUE PATIENT BALANCES WITH COLLECTION AGENCIES.
PART III, LINE 8:	IT IS THE POSITION OF MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH THAT 100% OF ANY SHORT FALL SHOULD BE TREATED AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT. THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS COST OF PROVIDING SERVICES THAT REMAIN UNCOMPENSATED TO THE PROVIDER. THE UNREIMBURSED COSTS OF MEDICARE IS CALCULATED BY THE GROSS CHARGES NET OF THE COST TO CHARGE RATIO LESS ANY PAYMENTS, DEDUCTIONS OR REIMBURSEMENTS USING THE ANNUAL MEDICARE COST REPORT (CMS FORM 2552-96).
PART III, LINE 9B:	MERCY'S COLLECTION POLICY PROVIDES THAT MERCY WILL PERFORM A REASONABLE COMMUNICATION AND/OR REVIEW OF PATIENT ACCOUNTS AS IT RELATES TO ANY SERVICE PROVIDED AT OUR FACILITIES BEFORE TURNING THE ACCOUNT TO BAD DEBT OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NONPAYMENT. MERCY ACTIVELY SCRUBS ACCOUNTS FOR PAYOR PLAN COVERAGE'S; INCLUDING MEDICAID. IN THE EVENT AN ACCOUNT IS TURNED TO COLLECTIONS, AND IS IDENTIFIED IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGES, OR NOW REQUESTING ASSISTANCE, THE ACCOUNTS ARE RETURNED BY THE AGENCY AND CONSIDERED FOR CHARITY IF THE PATIENT PROVIDES THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. IF THE PATIENT FAILS TO RETURN THE INFORMATION, THE ACCOUNT WILL QUALIFY FOR COLLECTIONS.MERCY UTILIZES THE EXPERIAN THIRD PARTY TOOL TO ENHANCE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE CHARITY QUALIFICATION PRIOR TO TURNING TO BAD DEBT, A PROCESS KNOWN AS PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY; USING HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND INCOME. MERCY WILL GRANT CHARITY IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM PATIENTS OR THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS NOT COMPLETE ENOUGH TO MAKE A CHARITY DETERMINATION WHEN A PATIENT HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, MERCY UTILIZES THE SAME TOOL TO QUALIFY ACCOUNTS PER THE PRACTICE OF PRESUMPTIVE CHARITY PRIOR TO BAD DEBT PLACEMENT FOR BALANCES IN EXCESS OF $6500. ALL ACCOUNT BALANCES RELATING TO ACCOUNTS IDENTIFIED BY THE HIGHER BALANCES WILL BE CONSIDERED AND FLAGGED FOR CHARITY IF THERE IS AN INABILITY TO PAY AFTER A RETURN FROM THE COLLECTION AGENCY AT APPROXIMATELY 120 DAYS. MERCY WILL PURSUE APPROPRIATE MEANS IN THE COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FROM PATIENTS WITH AN ESTABLISHED ABILITY TO PAY OR AN UNWILLINGNESS TO COOPERATE IN VALIDATING ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THESE APPROPRIATE MEANS MAY INCLUDE LEGAL ACTION CONSISTENT WITH MERCY MISSION AND VALUES AFTER A SENDING 3 MONTHLY STATEMENTS WITH THE FINAL INCLUDING NOTIFICATION; IF NO RESOLUTION THEY WILL BE TURNED TO COLLECTIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY MAY INCLUDE LIENS UPON REAL PROPERTY AND REASONABLE WAGE GARNISHMENTS. LEGAL ACTIONS WILL GENERALLY NOT INCLUDE BANK GARNISHMENTS, REPOSSESSION OF ASSETS OR FORECLOSURES TO ENSURE SATISFACTION OF A LIEN. MERCY HAS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED TO ADDRESS THE INITIATION OF LEGAL ACTION AND ANNUALLY REVIEW COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES BUT ENSURE 120 DAYS OF BILLING AND COLLECTIONS OCCURS PRIOR TO ANY EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTIONS ARE PURSUED.
PART VI, LINE 2:	COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT PROCESSMERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH SOUGHT TO CONDUCT ITS NEEDS ASSESSMENT USING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA. PRIMARY DATA WERE COLLECTED IN THREE WAYS A TELEPHONE SURVEY OF 500 ADULT COMMUNITY MEMBERS; PHYSICIAN SURVEYS AND A COLLABORATION OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS IN A FOCUS GROUP SETTING.MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH COMMUNITY SURVEYMERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH PARTNERED WITH THE PRELL ORGANIZATION TO ASSESS THE HEALTH-CARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BY CONDUCTING A TELEPHONE SURVEY WITH BOTH LANDLINE AND CELL-PHONE NUMBERS UTILIZING A RANDOM SAMPLE OF 500 ADULTS AGE 21 YEARS OR OLDER. THIS SAMPLE OF OUR POPULATION IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH. THESE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN JUNE 2015 AT COMMUNICATIONS FOR RESEARCH IN STEELVILLE, MO, USING A CATI (COMPUTER ASSISTED TELEPHONE) INTERVIEWING SYSTEM. MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH PHYSICIAN SURVEYPHYSICIANS PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN LOOKING AT THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THEY OFTEN ARE THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTH ISSUES. PHYSICIANS ALSO PLAY A KEY ROLE IN ESTABLISHING GOOD PREVENTIVE HEALTH BEHAVIOR, AND MAY ALSO BE A KEY TO FINDING OUT WHY PATIENTS ARE OR ARE NOT ON THE ROAD TO GOOD HEALTH. BECAUSE PHYSICIANS PLAY THIS ROLE IN RECOGNIZING THE HEALTH NEEDS OF THE POPULATION, WE CHOSE TO SURVEY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND SPECIALISTS AFFILIATED WITH MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH. FORTY-THREE PHYSICIANS TOOK PART IN A SEVEN-QUESTION SURVEY USING AN ONLINE SURVEY TOOL. THE PHYSICIANS WERE ASKED THREE OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS AND FOUR CLOSED QUESTIONS FOCUSED ON THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OUR POPULATION.KEY STAKEHOLDER ANALYSISAS PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PPACA, NON-PROFIT HOSPITALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONDUCT THEIR ASSESSMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER HOSPITALS, LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND /OR COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IN THE KEY STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS, MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH PARTNERED WITH BARNES JEWISH WEST COUNTY HOSPITAL (BJWCH), MISSOURI BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER (MBMC), ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL (SLH) AND MERCY ST. LOUIS.

LOUIS HOSTED A SINGLE FOCUS GROUP WITH PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTS AND THOSE WITH A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE HEALTH NEEDS OF RESIDENTS LOCATED IN WEST AND SOUTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY. THIS FOCUS GROUP WAS HELD ON JULY 23, 2015. THIS GROUP WAS FACILITATED BY ANGELA FERRIS CHAMBERS, MANAGER OF MARKET RESEARCH AND CRM FOR BJC HEALTHCARE. THE DISCUSSION LASTED 90 MINUTES. SECONDARY DATASECONDARY DATA WERE COLLECTED BY A VARIETY OF MEANS, FROM LOCAL, COUNTY, STATE AND HOSPITAL SOURCES. THESE SECONDARY DATA ARE IMPORTANT IN CREATING A PROFILE OF THE COMMUNITY THAT MERCY HOSPITAL SOUTH SERVES. THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO THE AVAILABLE DATA ON OUR COMMUNITY. MOST DATA ARE AVAILABLE ONLY AT THE COUNTY LEVEL, AS OPPOSED TO A DETAILED ZIP CODE ANALYSIS THAT WOULD ALLOW A MORE THOROUGH LOOK AT SUB-COUNTY INFORMATION. ANALYSIS OF THESE DATA FOCUSED HEAVILY ON ST. LOUIS COUNTY AND JEFFERSON COUNTY IN MISSOURI, BECAUSE THESE ARE THE TWO LARGEST IN OUR COMMUNITY. ANOTHER LIMITATION IS THE LACK OF AVAILABLE DATA ON OUR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, INCLUDING LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY GROUPS.
PART VI, LINE 3:	MERCY INFORMS AND EDUCATES PATIENTS AND PERSONS WHO MAY BE BILLED FOR PATIENT CARE ABOUT THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS OR UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY THROUGH SEVERAL MEANS. IF AT ANY TIME A PATIENT EXPRESSES HARDSHIP AND INABILITY TO PAY, THE ACCOUNTS IS PLACED FOR REVIEW. IN ADDITION, PATIENT HAVE SIGNAGE ABOUT THE POLICY AT THE ACCESS POINTS, AND ALL STAFF WORKING WITH THE PATIENT AT POINT OF SERVICE, SCHEDULING, CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND EVEN THROUGH THE MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY SCREENING, HAVE THE MEANS TO SEND THE ACCOUNT FOR REVIEW. THERE IS THE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY THAT IS BEING PROVIDED TO ALL WHOM EXPRESS HARDSHIP WHEN PRESENTING IN THE FACILITIES. IN ADDITION TO THE WEB ADDRESS PROVIDING THE APPLICATION, POLICIES, AND EVEN HOW UNINSURED ACCOUNTS ARE HANDLED.
